Police chiefs have hailed this years’ Nantwich Jazz Festival a success after just seven arrests made during the five-day event. The number of arrests is a drop on previous years, which Cheshire Police say is down to planning, CCTV, and working with licensees.

Rogue motorway drivers in Cheshire were targeted as part of a police clampdown on criminals. North West Motorway Police Group’s Operation Coalition stopped 312 vehicles in one day, and uncovered 111 traffic offences.
